Sunday 26 July 1908
A beautiful warm bright day just
a light rippling breeze on the river.
I sit out on veranda and write to Louise.
Maud goes to church M.E. and from
there she goes up to G.W. Woodmans
visiting, drives up with Lillie from our
M.E. Church. Voltie picks a bowl of black
cap raspberries. We have custard pie
for dinner. I dont get much time
for reading or writing. Tis the demand
of others on my most precious time for studying.
After dinner and dishes washed while
V sits on veranda and I am sitting
in my favourite place by the window in the
big old rocker, V announces the arrival
of Arthur, Marjorie, Kathleen and the
babies Charlie & Ross. They have been picknicking
picnicing over on their point and thought they
would come over awhile and see uncle and
Grandma and Grandpa and Reggie.
Marjorie and I get supper and Arthur,
Voltie & Reggie go fishing. We cook them for
supper and have V bowls of raspberries for supper.
Marjorie helps me wash dishes and just after sundown
they go home away over the river and soon after that
Maud comes home having had an enjoyable time at W.G. Woodmans
